Warning : Major spoiler for Beverly Hills Cop : Axel F below !
Summary
Beverly Hills Cop : Axel Fmakes a pointed poking aboutBeverly Hills Cop 3 , but was this 1994 sequel rightfully that terrible ? In a delightfully unvarnishedRolling Stoneinterview from 1989 , Eddie Murphy was brutally true about his career and the movie business . He dubbedBeverly Hills Cop 2"mediocre " and take the only reason to make a third entry was purely for money . Of naturally , the first twoBeverly Hills Copmovieswere hugely successful , making a third movie inevitable .
Beverly Hills Cop 3nearly transform the enfranchisement by beam Axel overseas , with different pitching taking him to London or Japan . Instead , Paramount opted to save costs and bring him back to Beverly Hills again to take down a counterfeiting ring inside a theme park . Beverly Hills Cop 3arrived at a low point in Murphy ’s career , receiving dreaded brushup and gross less than half of the 2d movie , which amount seven days prior .

How Axel F Insults Beverly Hills Cop 3
Detective Abbott has notes on Axel’s Wonder World adventure
Joseph Gordon - Levitt is part ofBeverly Hills Cop : Axel F’scastas Detective Abbott , who was also in a relationship with Foley ’s daughter Jane ( Taylour Paige ) . When they adjoin for the first meter , an amused Abbott runs through Axel ’s past sojourn to Beverly Hills and shade his Wonder World misadventure as " Not your okay hour . "
This is a very meta comment on the third film ’s response and an acknowledgment it come in close to killing the serial . In the true , Beverly Hills Cop 3is merit of its frightening reception , as it misfire on almost every level . For the first 15 hour it ’s not so bad , but once Axel arrives in Beverly Hills , the quality nosedives . Director John Landis was a bad fit for the material , while Murphy ’s attempts to make Axel more ripe just made him boring .
The " Die firmly in a Theme Park " crotchet is n’t so unfit , but the subsequence ’s humor is gimpy and the action largely underwhelming . Beverly Hills Cop 3also drop characters like Taggart ( John Ashton ) and Jeffrey ( Paul Reiser ) , whose absence were keenly felt . Perhaps the boastful sinfulness of the 1994 entry is that it ’s just plaindull , which is the absolute last matter an Axel Foley adventure should be .

N / A
Murphy ’s joyless round inBeverly Hills Cop 3zaps many sequences of their comic potential , and the action does n’t make up for it . He on the face of it realized this in hindsight , since he ’s dialed up the humor inBeverly Hills Cop : Axel F. It ’s great fun seeing Murphy back in legal action - drollery mode , and hopefully , there ’s at least one more sequel in his time to come . The fourth movie’sBeverly Hills Cop 3jab is pretty meek , consider Murphy himself has been harsh about it in interviews .
